DJ's and producers are, by definition, a musically diverse bunch. Their end of year charts are no different, and if anything the overall consensus of what's been popular this past year has become increasingly diluted as a result of even more producers, genres, sounds and technological influences entering the fray.

Of course, it's all subjective and matters for little, (save really, for a chance for us mere mortals to discover new music and nod our heads in agreement/disagreement with the scene's most influential tastemakers), yet it's interesting to note how many of 2012's major players have moved away from what's generally regarded as their 'traditional' sound.

It was a landmark year for electronic music , and the latter Top 10's certainly emphasise the point. Regardless of your personal preferences however, each and every track mentioned below has one thing in common: someone, somewhere, danced, felt every beat and generally lost themselves in the music. And at the end of the day, isn't that what it all boils down to?
